The 170 and 175 share wings and engines differing only in fuselage length and maximum take-off weight. The 190 and 195 also share wing and engines in the same manner.

Image:Embraer175-01.jpg The Embraer 170 and 175 compete with aircraft such as the Bombardier/Canadair CRJ-700 and CRJ-900, and the Sukhoi Russian Regional Jet, while the 190 and 195 compete with the Boeing 737-600 and the Airbus A318.
The 170 and 175 have 95% commonality with each other, as do the 190 and 195. The two pairs of aircraft have 89% commonality across the whole family. While the fuselage cross-section and systems are the same, the wings, engines, and main landing gear on the 190/195 are different than on the 170/175.
The 170 has 187 orders, 85 of which are from US Airways, and the 190 has 177 orders, 100 of which are from jetBlue Airways (plus 100 options) and 45 from Air Canada (with 60 options). LOT Polish Airlines was the launch customer for the Embraer 170 entering the type into service in March 2004. LOT has purchased 10 E170s with options for a further 11. The launch customer for the 195 and the 170 was Crossair, whose subsequent owners have delayed the obligation. The first customer now scheduled for the 195 is Flybe taking 14. On February 9, 2006, US Airways announced it was converting 57 170-series orders into firm orders for Embraer 190s, with the first 25 aircraft scheduled for delivery beginning in November of that year. Finnair has orders for 20 E190s with deliveries scheduled to begin in November 2006. TAME of Ecuador has orders for 2 E170s, 1 E190 and seven options. On March 22, 2006 Embraer and Royal Jordanian have signed a contract for the acquisition of seven firm EMBRAER 195s, with deliveries due to start in the fourth quarter of 2006.
